About Us

We are Nicole & Gary, we founded Yoga Breaks in Spain shortly after moving to Spain in 2003.     Gary was a school teacher in the UK and Nicole was a corporate marketing manager (& part time yoga teacher) both working long hours without ever seeming to get anywhere.   Sound familiar?   

 We moved to Spain to take a break from the pressures of UK living.   Our daughter, Poppy, was spending 10 hours a day at a child minder whilst we rushed between work, home, domestic duties and seeing friends.   It was exhausting.    We knew that if we didn't change, something was going to break.  

 Nicole knew she loved teaching yoga more than the "exciting" world of corporate marketing.   After years of studying & teaching yoga, I realised I felt happiest when I was on my yoga mat rather than behind a desk.  I spent months ignoring my nagging intuition & kept juggling work, yoga & home life.

Eventually, a serious  illnesses forced me to slow down & think about the way we lived.   That was when I awoke to the fact that yoga bought more peace and joy to me than the trappings of a successful career.    This is what prompted us to escape to Spain!  And now, here we are, offering  yoga holidays to stressed people like we used to be!  

In the 9 years we have been running yoga holidays and health retreats, we've gained an incredible insight to the important ingredients required to create the perfect yoga and wellbeing holiday.  We've listened carefully to our guests and tweaked the programme along the way to create the polished yoga inspired wellbeing holidays that we offer to you today.  

We are more than happy to answer your questions as we appreciate your holiday time is precious.  We're always honest & open and will give you all the information you need to help make a decision to join us - or not!

The Costa Blanca area of Spain is truly beautiful with stunning mountain scenery  and an abundance of lush vegetation.  The pace of life here is much slower.  No-one is measured by what car they drive, how much they earn or what they're wearing.    This is how life should be.

Within months of arriving, we ran our first yoga holidays for  friends & family but word spread & friends of the friends wanted to come too!     Now we run holidays between March & October when the weather is at it's absolute best.
